GRANDMA’S JOURNEY.
Dear old Grandma Jackson, like
everybody else, had the grippe, and
had it badly, too. She did not die,
but she came near it. After a long
time, when the doctor allowed her
to creep downstairs, weak and white
and wan, her poor mind was filled
with the queerest notion. She
thought she was making a visit at
her brother’s in New Hampshire.
Day after day she spent in the big
rocking chair at the sitting-room
room window, gazing out at the fa
miliar street with wistful, dim blue
eyes, and keeping up a pitiful mur
mur of “Oh, if I could only go
home! I know I should get better
right straight off, if they’d only just
let me go home!”
Grandpa, in his seat opposite,
worried much over her unhappy
fancy. There were even moments
when she did not recognize him, but
bent upon him, too, the same
troubled look, as if a strange face
had suddenly replaced that which
she had known and loved so long.
“Don’t you think we’d better be
talking of going home, father?” she
would ask every morning in an
anxious whisper. “It seems to me
we’ve been here too long now, and
there’s no sense in wearing out your
welcome. I guess Ezra’s folks never
want to set eyes on us again; And I
should like to get back to Boston
pretty soon. There’s all my spring
cleaning to see to. Oh dear! I do
want to get home!"
“Well, but mother —” the old gen
tleman would begin; but she went
on without heeding him.
“Ezra’s wife is well meaning
enough, but she’s dreadfully wear
ing, and that bed up in the north
chamber is hard as a pine log. Now
that I’m feeling poorly, seem’s as if
I’d like to get back to my own bed.
There isn’t one to compare it
in this place—all live goose fei hers,
every one of ’em! O father, I'-don’t
believe I shall ever get any stronger
here! Won’t you see if you can’t
manage to take me home some
how?”
Thus she kept up her never-end
ing homesick cry. The sunshiny
May days came and went, the elms
on the Common tossed their boughs
against the bluest of blue sides,
children played once more ‘in the
long malls with shouts of laughter.
Wandering bands flooded the air
with music; the world was filled with
the joy of spring time.
But there were deepening wrinkles
on the gentle old face beneath the
soft white cap that rested on still
softer white hajr. and grandma’s
shriveled hands, busied
knitting, trembled until the needles
glittered in the sun.
A note of despair had crept into
her longing for home. She could
see from her place at the window
the Common growing green and the
rush of sunshine lighting up every
corner of the street to which she
had come as a bride half a century
before.
This was the house where all her
children* were
them had died. In this very robm J
Rachel and Martha had been mar
ried many a year ago. Here boys
bad clung to her'neck with tears as,
one by one, they had said good-by
to her and gone out into the world
io make their fortunes.
Loving memories were associated
with the very chairs and tables. But
to grandma's bewildered and failing
Bight they were only strange, unfa,
miliar shapes.
“I wanttogo home!” shemourned
still. “I want to go home!”
The doctor shook his head one
day, as he strapped up his case of
medicines and drew on his driving
gloves. Miss Lydia had followed
him out into the entry.
“You don’t think she’s failing,
doctor, do you?” she asked, with a
sudden dread.
“Well, I don’t know. Her mind
is wearing out her body, and if she
doesn’t get over the idea that she
isn't at home soon, I’m afraid she
may break down under the strain.
The only thing to be done is to give
her nourishing food and keep her as
cheerful as you can. Good morn-
Jirgt” ” J
l! The doctor hurried away.
Miss Lydia turned slowly bM? t°

it were. She realized with pang

window hjui grown of late, £nd bow
her mother’s strange delusion bad
tightened its hold week by week.
She went about her work all day
with a weight at her heart, an un
spoken prayer on her lips. Anxious
Miss Lydia, an old maid in the old
home, was returning to her parents
the tender, untiring care which they
had bestowed on her as a child.
Through the long night she lay
awake, wondering if nothing could
be done to clear away the cobwebs
from that poor befogged brain. In
the early dawn an inspiration caiAS
to her so happy that she

aren't going till after breakfast, are
we, Lydia? I hope you'll see that
your father’s ready. He's growing
very slipshod in his ways lately.”
“Oh, he’s at home already,” an
swered Lydia. “He wants to be on
hand when you get there.”
So grandma rose, in a state of ex
citement, to take her tea and toast
and a dropped egg with a relish she
had not shown since her illness.
Then she was dressed as if for a
journey in her best black cashmere,
her camel’s hair shawl, the big black
bonnet with the purple violets with
in the brim, the shiny one button
black gloves, her overshoes, and the
little worsted work bag on her arm
to hold her her handker
chief and her portemonnaie. She
was ready to set out.
Miss Lydia took her arm and they
started slowly, slowly down the long
flight of stairs.
She helped her down the front
steps leading to the sidewalk, talk
ing to her all the time about her re
turn home, and keeping her atten
tion away from the scenes about her.
Then she helped her into a carryall
that stood waiting.
“I’ll warrant that when we get
there,” said Lydia, after they were
in the carriage, “father’ll be wait
ing for us at the top of the steps.”
The driver took a turn around the
block, and returned to the house he
had just left.
“Well, here you are at last,” said
Lydia. “It’s been a prettj' long and
tiresome journey, but I guess you’ve
stood it pretty well. ”
For an instant the old lady seemed
dazed. But Lydia called out:
“Well, if there ain’t father, just as
I said he’d be!” Grandma caught
sight of him rubbing his hands at
the top of the steps.
“He was looking for us, sure
enough!” she said.
They helped her out and up the
steps. All the rest of the family
had been taken into the plot,
Cynthy Ann, the hired girl, camp
out behind grandpa.
“Well, well, mother!” said grand
pa, stepping forward and taking her
hands in his, then stooping to leave
a kiss upon the faded cheek. “It
does seem nice to get you back
again. I thought you was never
coming, Aren't you tired after
your ride? Come right into the
sitting-room and take off your
things.”
“Well, Mis’ Jackson,” joined in
Cynthy Ann, “I guess you’ll find
things lookin’ pretty well. I’ve
tried to keep ’em straightened out
whilst you’ve been gone, but I’m
mighty tickled to get you home
again. Wouldn’t you like a dish
rear twouw KiTrtier rest you a*>er
cornin’ such a ways.”
Grandma’s face lighted up with
pleasure. She was led into the sit
ting-room unresistingly. Glancing
about with deep satisfaction she
sank into her rocking-chair and
drew a long breath of happiness.
Lydia took off her things, then
brought the white cap to tie on lov
ingly, and the long, blue stocking,
so that the fingers could begin their
knitting-work again.
Jykf'l out through
the windowT*and laughed “a
pleased laugh all'to herself.
“Well, there’s no better place
than Boston after all! I can’ tell
you, father, I’pi glad to’ be hom§
again. I’ve been feeling pretty mis ;
erablc, but I guess I shall begin tp
pick up now I'VP got back to my
own folks and my own living,
though Ezra’s wife did try to make
me feel at home.”
She laughed again. It did Lydia’s
heart good to hear her.
“But there’s one queer thing
about my being up at Ezra’s. I can’t
seem to remember how ’twas I ever
came to go there at all. And I’ve
made up my mind to one thing —I'm
never going there again. ”
That night, when she went to bed,
she drew Lydia’s face down to her
own, peaceful and smiling once
more. *
“O Lydia!” she said, “I’m going
to get better now. I’m glad to be
back —glad to be back, for there’s no
place like home!” —Youth’s Compan

WHERE SHE HEARD THE SIOrtY.
How the Details of the Story of the Flood
Caine to Be Preserved.
1 was reared in the days of black
niammies. As a child I received al!
my’ mammy told me without doubt
or question till tho story of the ark
came: then faith wavered. I was
kneeding bn a stool, my arms resting
on the kitchen worktable, a 5 by 10
feet receptacle for all things needful
in the preparation of a meal. Mam
my was opposite, cutting up a fowl
for dinner in one of the enormous
dishpans of that day. She gave me
a full description of the flood, with
all the preparations leading up to it.
I was especially impressed when
Noah's wife objected to the snakes
coming in, but was doubly sympa
thetic when she protested that wasps
and spiders were more than she could
stand. I grew calmer as Noah as
sured her that tho latter were to go
into a closet in the attic, the door to
be ceiled up, and as to the snakes,
they would be boxed and set away
in a corner of the same attic.
Other details, which need not here
be given, followed till all was ready
for the storm to burst. This lurid
affair I will not attempt to descrilie,
but as the ark began to float and its
ability to ride tho waves was proved
1 breathed more freely and was ready
to enjoy, as I had so often done be
fore, the reaction that followed blood
curdling recitals. Mammies were
true novelists and generally ended
their stories pleasantly, virtue and
the right triumphing.
But my peace was to be disturbed
—a question sprang up. Long as I
had known from other sources the
story of the flood none of these thrill
ing details had been given me. Why
were they left out of sacred history,
and how had mammy secured them ?
I asked if she were sure of her in
formation. She replied, “Perfectly
sure.” After some consideration I
ventured, with misgiving, to ask how
sho gained her knowledge.
My rebuke camo. Sho struck nn
attitude which said plainly. "It is as
tonishing howdullsomechildren are. ”
The knife and chicken went to the
bottom of the pan, Lor hands rested
on her hips, and looking over and far
beyond my she said, “My gre’t
gre’t-gre’t-gran'mammy heer ebry
wud I tell you sum whar she dun
hide un’er ole Miss Nog’s bed.’’—St.

The old building still stands ou North

coaches was a flourishing hotel. In
Mr. Kirkwood’s day the students
used to resort to the place and drink
the landlord’s peculiar concoction of
flip. The president decided to look
into the matter, so he called at the
tavern and ordered a glass of flip He
drank it, smacked his lips and turned
his grave face to the landlord. “So

Louise Chandler Moulton, who was
one of the well known authors re

question: “I think that women have
no right to demand or even to ex

think the. men who do show gra

THE ORIGIN OF “PLUM DUFF?’
How a threat h’clid.iy DLsh of Saliurs Re
ceived lt» CJucer Name.
There are many traditions respect
ing the origin of the name •plum
duff,” the great holiday, dish of sail
ors. No feast on shipboard is con
sidered perfect without it. Accord
ing to the story given in the history
of the British navy, an English brig
in the south Pacific was caught in a
series of awful hurricanes. AU on
board were anxious to reach a port
in time for Christinas, but the holi
day found them still off the Naviga
tor islands. Worst of all, they had
shipped a sea that carried away the
hencoop containing a few chickens.
When the cook saw the Christinas
dinner floating in the lee scuppers
and in danger of going overboard,
he made a gallant charge down the
slippery, sloping deck to recover it,
but at that moment a great wave
rose high over the bulwarks, broke
with resistless fury on the very spot
where he stood, and when it subsided
cook and chickens had both disap
peared.
This unfortunate accident left the
crew not only without a Christmas
dinner, but without any one to pre
pare an ordinary nreal. The sailors
were heartily sick of “hardtack” and
remembered with longing the fa
mousplum pudding of merry Eng
land. They determined that some
how they must have a Christmas
pudding and drew lots as to who
should be the cook.
"The choice fell on the boatswain’s
mate, a brawny son of the Emerald
Isle. In the galley he found an old
cookbook. This he solemnly pored
over in search of something promis
ing, but for lack of skill or materials
found nothing he dared venture
upon. At last he settled upon a rec
ipe which began, “Make a stiff
dough.” When he readied the word
dough, he said to himself, “If
r-o-u-g-h spells ruff, d-o-u-g-h spells
duff.”
So he made the pudding, putting
in some fine Malaga raisins, and
served it out with a generous quanti
ty of rich sauce. The sailors hailed
it with delight and appreciation.
“What d’ye call it f” they asked.
“Plum duff,” said the proud cook.
And plum duff it has remained from
that day to this. —Manchester Times.

Nursing Malarial Fever.
Malarial fever begins, as many
acute diseases do, with a chill fol
lowed by fever, which subsides after
a time and is followed by a second
chill. These recur at regular inter
vals and give the fever one of its
names, intermittent or remittent.
The doctor usually prescribes large
doses of quinine or smaller doses of
ten repeated.
The nurse must try to promote a
reaction during the chill by hot bot
tles or hot water bags at the feet and
under the arms, covering the patient
with warm flannels and giving warm
drinks, warm lemonade, hot milk,
etc., but no stimulant without the
doctor's permission. When the fever
comes on ice and cold water may be
given. A cooling laxative is usually
ordered, as citrate of magnesia. The
body may be sponged if the temper
ature is very high. A cloth wet in
alcohol and bound on the forehead
will help to relieve the headache,
wetting it without removing it when
' it becomes dry.
When the fever decreases, the in
valid begins to perspire profusely.
The whole person should be gently
dried from time to time, a flannel
nightdress put on, the room dark
ened and the sufferer allowed to sleep.
The doctor should be consulted, as
proper treatment is necessary to pre
vent, if possible, a recurrence of the
attack. In all forms of fever the ef
forts of both nurse and physician are
directed to reducing the temperature
and sustaining the strength of the
patient.—Ladies’ Home Journal.
Rales For Keeping the Teeth Clean.
One of the most skillful dental sur
geons gives these rules fur the care
of the teeth:
“Use a soft brush and water the
temperature of the mouth. Brush
the teeth up and down in the morn
ing, before going to lied and after
eating, whether it is three or six
times a day. Use a tooth powder
twice a week, not oftener, except in
case of sickness, when the acids from
a disordered stomach are apt to have
an unwholesome effect upon the
dentine. Avoid all tooth pastes and
dentifrices that foam in the mouth.
The lather is a sure sign of soap, and
soap injures the gums without in
any way cleansing the teeth-
“The very best powder is of pre
cipitated chalk. It is absolutely harm
less and will clean the enamel with
out affecting the gums. Orris root
or a little Wintergreen added gives a
pleasant flavor, but in no way im
proves the chalk.
“At least a quart of tepid water
should be used in rinsing the mouth.
A teaspoonful of listerine iu half ft
glass of water used as a gargle after
meals is excellent. It is good for
* aiflßsa’riiAiai)le antiseptic.
“Coarse, hard brushes and soapy
dentifrices cause the gums to recede,
leaving the dentine exposed.
“Use a quill pick if necessary after
eating, but a piece of waxed floss is
better."
These rules are worth heeding.

PfccJou* Pennies.
She was a little typewriter operator
hiUTying to the office one rainy morn
ing with an umbrella held well down
in front of her face. She felt a sud
den impulse of sympathy, as she
paught a glimpse of a bald head and
jjtifully- extended hat, and into the
fatter went the few pennies she held
jn her band, Some instinct prompt
ing her to look back a moment later,
she saw to her horror the recipient of
her bounty, a well dressed gentle
man, who had stepped aside for a
moment out of the rain. His hat was
on now, and as he looked at the un
fortunate pennies he gasped between
convulsions of laughter, “I’ll keep
them al wavs; Fll keep them aby ays.”

F.'ISS NANCY.
She is no maid of high degree
Who loves a rout or great levee,
A gossip or a dish <:t tea.
Like Ethel Maud de Laneey.
Oh, mo: t the cares to brew and bako
Jellies and Jams and raisin cake;
I love them a'l for her dear sake.
My sweet, demure Miss Nancy!
Her hair is like a halo—gilt.
Her nose it has a saucy tilt.
Her voice a very skylark’s lilt.
And, ob, she takes my fancy!
A “vicillo mustache," I’ve won my spurs.
Faced all the odds that war incurs.
Yet quail beneath a frown of hers
And prove myself—“ Miss Nancy.”
Sometimes she Houts and scorns me, too.
Taunts me that I her favor sue.
Bids me another maiden woo
Far from her
But when I from her presence start
She leans her head upon my heart. | (
Says, “Could you thus in anger part: (
Oh, would yon not miss—Nancy?”

The Devil’s Mountain. j (
High up in the Rogue River valley, j
almost directly north from Montreal, '
is situated that singular pile of earth
and stone locally known as “Devil’s
mountain.”
The Indians of that region call it
“Mountain Devil” or “Trembling
Devil.” The geologists and geog
raphers know it onlv as Trembling
mountain, Years the late Sir
William E- Logan and company
camped near the base of this singu
lar peak, and on referring to it in his
report Sir William mentioned sever
al remarkable Indian legends which
the Indians have connected it with.
One of them was that the “thunder
god” used to sit upon the “Trem
bling Devil” fo_r three days in the
spring, seven in summer, five in au
tumn and two in winter; that dur
ing the time of his presence great
chasms would open in the sides of the
mountain, from which frighful noises
proceeded, occasionally tongues of
flame WCri) emitted, especially dur
ipg the midsummer sitting of the
“thunder god.”
Geologists account for the Qtigiu (
of these myths on a scientific basis
and explain them by telling us that
Trembling mountain is slowly sink
ing jnto the earth’s crust, the “trem
bling,” “quaking,” “groans” and
“noises” reported being the result of
(his phenomenon. St. Louis Repub
